They might also monitor the temperature and amount of slurpee left so they can notify employees to refill it

Sure but there’s a different machine for each display.

Depending on how much is linked up between them its entirely possible each machine is basically independent from each other and simply sharing the same casing. The advantage of this would be that even if one machine goes out or is having issues the other ones hopefully aren’t. I watch enough Bringus to know that shit under the hood for these commercial machines are fucking weird.

i’d imagine the company would make 2, 4, 6, 10 drink dispensing machines… having commodity hardware makes it super cheap to just have different shells and a power bus that you bolt electronics and mechanics onto in discrete parts
heck each individual controller could read an RFID tag embedded in the syrup and update its display automatically just from the inserted cartridge
adding all the sensors for each, a display out for each… it’s really just way simpler to duplicate the hardware… honestly, good engineering

Seems insane to run multiple machines for something like this. I wonder if maybe it is virtualized under the hood and one VM went kaput or something?

Find me a cheap board with that many video out’s

I bet passing the butter seems like a pretty sweet robot gig right about now.

It’s likely a connected IoT device. Might simply have pinged for an open port due to bad setup and someone was trying to run an attack on it. Or maybe just a corrupted update file. Or a cosmic ray hit the ram or chipset and if just randomly crashed as a result.
Don’t over think a crashed computer. Just ask if anyone has tried turning it off and then on again.
